You need to install and check all the ROMs for yourself...
Everyone has a different preference and view point of things...best ROM for somebody else isn't the same for you..
Plus it depends on how and what tweaks and mods you want on the phone...
(I like the lockscreen torch/Overclocking)

Yes and that was already explained in the link I gave him directly after his question. I dont see the point in bumping thread just to repeat what is already said in 2nd post of topic.

Android version 2.2
Baseband version GAUSB1A131800-EU
Kernel version 2.6.32.9-perf
OEM version GAUSB1A131800

How do I go about getting Steve's ROM?
Does getting this mean the phone gets faster / smoother?
Thanks folks for all the help!

Nope... sure don't
I do search but i thought there is an easy way since im rooted and have custom recover etc..
one more Q please do i have to use ec09 modem or i can keep ED05
Ec09 is probably gonna give you better results but you can try using the ed05 modem and see how you like it

Wasnt trying to make the op feel stupid... but if the op was able to find the powerwash rom and install the pbj voodoo kernal, then he should of been more than capable of finding the guide for installing vgb dont ya think? Heck the vgb guide was on the first page in the dev section, right next to the powerwashed ed05 rom and pbj kernal.
Good Day
well im not dev ,and then i saw the HOW TO ,too but I didnt know the difference between froyo and GB so i thought i can just install it over PW .one more thing it always good to know that there is ppl out there happy to help ...and if u feel like the Q is silly u can jump to next Q and dont bother urself ...trying to smile all the time will help u do better on ur life

This is correct and much like your case, perhaps he was having a problem installing and thought he was doing something wrong, so he asked.
Sorry Droid if i put you on the spot, I meant no disrespect.

LOL i do agree with this mostly though!
FYI sam.assad, froyo and Ginger Bread (aka GB)
are versions of the android OS Froyo is 2.2.x and GB is 2.3.x
hehehe , wow im talking about how they build these roms . 2.2.x & 2.3.x mean nothing but the version of OS ..if u read my Q u will notice that i have the ability to install rom and root .when jumped from 2.1 to 2.2 etc we didnt have to change anything on main sys but now with GB we have to repartion the hd and install GB Bootloaders ,SDK which is we didnt have to do all that with Froyo
Smile
any way thanks for all of u ..I already installed Vanilla Gingerbread v7 run it couple days i like it , but it missing what im looking for so swich to CM7 35 , i like it so far ..
Hi all,
I have rooted my device according to the following method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1319653
My phone specs are as follows: Stock Rom.
PDA:KJ2/ PHONE:KI4/ CSC:KJ1 (XSG)
Now that I have rooted my device, I would like some help what to do next for optimum performance and to remove the bloatware? I am very new to android world. Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
trawl the rom threads see what you like the look of, im not saying this just becausei use it, but take a look at the litenin rom thread in my sig, thats simple to flash and plenty of instructions, i have found most roms are are based on nothing much being changed unless you go for miui or a cm7 rom,
if you wanna remove bloatware i personally set my phone up n use system app remover, everyone has there own personal choice for roms so its basically take a look at the thread if u like the look of it give it a shot,
there is plenty of help and advice in the stickys and the rom threads if you get stuck.

Thanks a lot Demon_man for the reply. I have noted few things in lightening ROM which need clarification.
1) It is based on 2.3.4 while mine is 2.3.5...should I go back?
2) It doesn't support Right to left languages..They say to install older versions.
3) what is the battery life with lightening ROM?
I shall be thankful for further help.
sorry thought i had updated my sig litnin is now un supported as far as im aware the dev left but this thread has taken over the litnin rom,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1334124

Of course i was once a noob but one who thought that following the instructions would be better than bricking a phone and looking like a **** .Even worse would be posting on a forum and asking how only to be told read the instructions .
Not that you are alone it seems to be the norm for many noobs.

But the instructions are in the very first post of the CM9 thread. I find it hard to believe nothing came up.
EDIT: I'm not trying to be a ****, and I don't think JJEgan was either; but it's a frustrating thing to see a bunch of posts asking questions that are already answered - many times in the very first post of the thread that contains the subject matter the person is asking about. If the thread was read thoroughly, then why is the question being asked?

hey have any of you guys installed a custom roms on the SGS2 i have the phone rooted and i was contimplating installing a custom rom just wanted you guys information on how safe it is to do so. I was acutally looking for a nice ICS custom rom but apparently i would need one for my kernel(XWKL1). What would happen if i install a custom rom of ICS ment for a different kernel would it brick my phone?
thanks in advance for any information.

probably but you are better off reading and learning before bricking your phone
ICS is yet to be released but we do have a buggy leaked ICS test rom you need to know how to recover before flashing .

Yes it is safe if you know what you're doing and for you that means don't go anywhere near an ICS ROM try a Gingerbread ROM first but before you do that read and read and search and search.
Just practising my speed typing....
wow thanks for such a quick reply so for example if i were to install the Omega rom i would need to get one for my kernel version only right? Then if would need to revert all i need to do is flash my old insecure kernel back and i would be back.
edit: - i didnt see B3311 post. ok i am a lil confused now if i were to install a custom rom ment for a differnt kernel would it work or would i brick my phone?
Kernel version doesen't matter.

Search, Read, Backup and try. Everything you need to know is in the threads. Please read friend that is the only way you get to learn. Look at me. Been reading upon the threads once i had my galaxy s2 just before xmas and i have read upon two months before i got my phone. Now even though i only joined recently i know near enough what i need to do regarding as rooting and flashing roms and themes go. But i still search whenever i can for what i need before i have to ask questions. And most of the time it is right there infront of you. Also another thing if you think the search engine is crap on xda use google. Most of the times it gives you what you are looking for.
Not having a go but today mininum have been two three threads what rom is the best and what one to use and so on. Anyway good luck with the flashing and hope you enjoy whatever you choose

And the key to all the reading is that you are less likely to brick your phone more likely to be able to recover from problems.

True but even with all the reading at least you will feel more comfortable about going about and rooting the phone and flashing a rom. That way at least you do not have to expect others to spoonfeed the information to you. Also when you flash a rom for the first time you will feel great about yourself cause you did it all by yourself than asking others to help you. Hope that makes sense.. and to what you said also you have a great point and i always read your posts when you help people JJe as you are one helpful guy.
Hey, I just contacted Google and advised them to remove the Google search widget that comes standard on every android phone's home screen.
It useless I told them, nobody seems to even notice or use it. Heck, why search when you can just ask?
Still waiting for there reply.

to be clear i never asked which rom was the best and which one to use. I have been reading up on all the different roms available i have narrowed it down to the ICS and the Omega rom and i know how to flash the roms the instructions there are quite clear my only query was about the kernel version for which i could not find a solution. Now i have another question since you guys are saying the kernel version does not matter then why are they country specific and suppose i use a kernel ment for USA would that mean when ics finally got released here for the sgs2 i would need to reflash my phone with the gingerbread 2.3.6 version before i could get the official ICS update from kies?

let me make this clear. Different variants of the s2 hence why you see different forums. If you have an international version then you are safe to flash whatever you want in this forum here. So if you see USA version I would steer clear it as it has nothing to do with the international version if that makes sense. Regarding your other question well yes flash BBL to stock official ROM and that is it

The kernal is not related to country or carrier. The csc is.
Practically all custom roms come with working kernals and modems for the rom.
As for getting the official upgrade, you can reflash your original firmware, but most here just download the new official firmwares from the Intratech thread or sites like sammobile and flash it with Odin. No need for kies. I don't use it at all except for when I first got the S1 in 2010.
